    The equipment and space were appropriate for a gym with a premise of access at "anytime"--when I joined. The "Anytime" premise dissipated just a few months later when the gym exchanged it premise by essentially renting the space to a personal training company. I've tried avoiding the personal training maelstrom by going at all times of my day, to no avail. Throughout the day, all week, there may be 3 to 6 trainers with 1 to 2 clients each crowding the space. They coach by clapping and yelling and they are everywhere you want to be in the gym. They are courteous but with this number of people in this small space, it can get a bit constrained. I don't recommend this space unless you're patronizing the personal training company. It's too tight and crowded and workouts are available to you on a "limited" rather than "anytime" basis. I'm now stuck in a contract with a gym that I don't like and I've joined a second one so I can actually, effectively workout.

    Clean facility with a decent selection of equipment; that said, the reason for my 1 star review is this gym is better suited for hotel travelers who want a casual workout. This is not, by any means, geared towards an athlete who is wanting to genuinely focus on strength improvements. When you’re told to be careful with the machines because the “neighbors will complain”, it becomes grossly apparent you’re paying for a gym membership that includes a stipulation you were not made aware of upon signing up. Which, sensitive neighbors are fine; however, don’t franchise a gym with machines geared towards serious lifting (racks, 100LB dumbbells, etc.) only to casuistically apply restrictions later on.

    Anytime Fitness as a franchise has served me well over the years and I've used their gyms often. I travel more than most for work and I appreciate being able to use any of their gyms nationwide. Over the years I've reopened and canceled my membership several times due to working in an area without an anytime fitness close by. This process has never been difficult or painful. For whatever reason, management at this location has decided to try to trap me in my membership and make it impossible to get out of my membership. Anytime might apply to the hours you can use the gym, but it certainly doesn't apply to when you can cancel your membership.

    I have been a member of anytime fitness for many years. 5 plus years now. This gym is reasonably equipped until "The Trainers" come in, training 4 and 5 clients at a time, taking up pretty much all the equipment in the gym. If you are going to this gym you should check with the manager to find out what time the trainers will be in there kinda training their clients. I say kinda because how could you effectively keep your eyes on a client when you have 4 others floating around the gym.

    My partner has been an Anytime member since 2020 and she had always loved it. At this particular location there was an older male trainer who has grabbed her and kissed on the cheek on more than one occasion. After kissing her he would then proceed to her how much doing so made his day. Also this man is NOT my partner's trainer and is a complete stranger. He even came up to her during one of her workouts and start massaging her. She has told him this behavior makes her uncomfortable and has since decided to officially cancel her membership. She tried cancelling online, but no one answered the phone so we had to go in. I told the person working at the front desk what my partner had been experiencing and was met with a response that the trainer has a "flirty personality."

    Probably the worst gym I have ever been a member of. Literally just had to walk out of the gym today because the air never works. Today it was 83 degrees in there!! Unsafe conditions for someone to be working out in. A lot of the times the towels run out and half of the time there are no sanitary wipes to wipe down the machines. The water pressure in the bathrooms is really low so half of the time the toilet doesn't flush properly. I signed a two year contract so unfortunately I'm stuck but I cannot wait to put my 60 days notice in at the end of this year. We are charged a 39 dollars "gym enhancement" fee but nothing has been enhanced. This fee should go towards providing air conditioning in a GYM. The positives are that rarely anyone works out at this gym now (probably because of everything I've mentioned above) so there are always free machines :)

    Its hard to find if its your first time!! Its in the high rise building and parking can be confusing (go around back from the street view!) . But once you’re in, its a great spot! Good layout, lots of great equipment (leg presses, squat racks, nice selection pf machines for upper and lower body, nice treadmills etc). Very small knock- wish they had an assault bike. Those are awesome for getting HR up for zone 4/5 workouts. But this place is overall a 9 or 10 out of ten due to its layout, equipment, cleanliness, and more!

    They have a fair amount of equipment but the bathrooms are an atrocity. The sinks are broken and falling off of the wall. I believe they are this way due to the fact that people keep placing heavy items (backpacks, etc) on them. This is of course due to the fact that they don't want to place their personal belongings on the floors. If they put a bench or a chair in the bathrooms people would have somewhere to place their belongings when they shower or do whatever...

    Located off Pharr Rd and Piedmont in the 550 Building. Stopped by to tour the facility and sign up for a "6 week challenge" they advertised on Instagram. Only they forgot to mention the challenge requires weekly $100 payments ad well as the $30/month membership fee!?!! Needless to say I was taken aback at the audacity of this blatant "bait & switch" tactic. Highly disappointed and felt it was a giant waste of time and resources. The corporate office and its marketing tactics are at fault. Frankly, the facilities lacked significantly comparison to Planet Fitness at 1/3 the price. I won't be joining and will continue to consider options to both...

    Marlin is rude he doesn't know how to end a conversation over the phone. If he feels as if the conversation isn't beneficial for him he'll hang up on you in mid conversation. Not an ideal way to make business. Good luck buddy with your business proposals.

    Location is very tight for parking in the garage so be careful. It has good machines and seemed clean. I just didn't care for the location to be honest. Also only one TV and the treadmills are in bad shape

    Wow this is a no for me. The manager’s vibes were just OFF. needy , salesy energy. Literally wouldn’t join the gym bc I wouldn’t want to see him ever again. The gym is so small and personal which means he would be in my sight every time I work out and I just cannot. We came to try the gym out and he was quite literally desperate for us to join. It was such a turn off. He made up some strange rule about the free 7 day pass and said that we need to join by day two in order to get the pass ? Clearly making rules up as he went and it was obvious. I regret going there to be honest. Would no recommended especially if you’re a real gym person who is consistent and follows legit programs. The smallness and lack of equitoment is so dissapointing. The owner should prob think twice about who he was representing their company

    Solid Anytime location. Equipment is all new and they have a power rack with plenty of weights and barbells. No olympic bench, but there are enough benches that it's not a problem to just put one in the power rack. There are also towels and showers, although sometimes the towels run out.

    I would avoid this gym. I had a few incidents with trainers before there and they have since apologized. Its not the members, there is a problem with it’s the trainers. They work with 3 or 4 clients at a time. Then the other day another one a Hispanic women, she’s there all the time the only female trainer was very rude to me. We as members should not have to put up with that. You need to get on your trainers about courtesy and manners. I asked to work in on a piece of equipment while her client was working on other equipment. I had to give her a lesson on sharing before she gave in. I did my sets before her client even came back. Then she made a rude comment that I needed to stop running my mouth and get back to work because her client was talking to me. Where do you find these people? You offer me a free training session as a new member and there is not one I would work with. I try to go when no one is there my schedule doesn’t always permit. I left messages about this before no one returns my call. I’m new to Atlanta but no southern hospitality here that’s for sure. And other people have had the same complaints about your trainers.

    This place is a joke. Dont waste your time or money. I stopped by before to see the facility and was greeted by an over zealous sales rep using the typical pushy tactics. Upon arriving the facility was incredibly crowded and no mask which made me super nervous. Although pushed I didnt sign anything that day I just wanted to see how it compared to my la membership. Aug 1 I decided I wanted to move forward as i live on the same street So i called, and called and called for 7 days with no answer. Today I called 2x and finally got someone at 545p. The guy that answered: "what do you need"... Me: "Excuse me", Guy: "what do you need", Me: "do you always answer this way", Guy: ... 20secs..., Guy: "what do you need", Me: What is your name so i can properly address you. Guy: No... 20sec, Me: ...sooo do you always have this much attitude.... Guy: Fine Its Corey... Me: I am no longer interested in these services your behavior is immature and appalling Ill stick to LA."

    Hate to say that I've been a member for about 5 years now and now I'm experiencing the same experience as other members.. trainer's are hosting more than 1 client at a time taking over half of the small gym Anytime fitness is.. I'm glad you guys are making more money with memberships but take in consideration other member that has a membership with this gym.. there are big reasons we do not join other crowded gyms..

    Coming back to edit my review. So I love this gym! It's always clean, empty and because its 24 hours I can go whenever I want. The times I've went it's never been more than 4 people in the gym and everyone minds their own business and does their own thing. I have a membership to both Anytime and LA Fitness and I dont even think of going to LA Fitness anymore. The only reason I've given Anytime 4 stars is because I made an appointment with the manager to get a membership and when I got there....the manager was nowhere to be found and the young man working there had no idea what I was talking about, the your lady I spoke with and made the appointment thru did not acknowledge anyone, pretty annoying seeming as though I sat in Atlanta traffic on a Friday afternoon busting my tail to get there on time. But thankfully the guy who was there was able to help me out.

    This gym is amazing I've been coming here for two years nkw. I love the staff they are very friendly and inclusive, as well as helpful and very knowledgeable of the human bodey. This facility has 3 restrooms that are single stall with showers included which I truly enjoy for not having to share a giant locker room with everyone. This is also an lgbtq friendly environment and sometimes just knowing that makes the difference in my dayly attendance as well as the facility especially the bathrooms are sparkling clean ♥♥

    Many of these reviews are false. I was a member for 2 years. Equipment is often broken and I never saw a class going on. There is one person that works there that is very helpful. It took a lot to leave. After my two years I told them around 2 years 3/4 I have to cancel I’m moving. They said I have 3 years left. After complaining they said I was out but oh I was wrong lol. They continued and tried to collect more and sent me to collections. How greedy. I will be disputing.

    After scanning key card to enter Buckhead(Pharr Rd)location, I was then asked by the front office worker my name and if my wife was on the membership. I felt as if he was trying to insinuate that perhaps I was trying to use someone else's membership. The truth of the matter is I had a key card, which when scanned,my name and wife come up. I didn't like the way it was handled.

    Would give five stars, but there is a security issue outside the Anytime Fitness building. A man came up to the window of our car and harassed us when I was finished with my workout and leaving. It was frightening. I haven't encountered any other problems and enjoy the perk of being able to workout on my schedule.

  • 5/5 Ron L. 1 year ago on Google

    This is my gym, and I go there often. I am a bit of an insomniac, and I enjoy the area that I'm at, because most of the population that goes to this gym have important jobs to go to early in the morning. So that means, I can go here from the hours of 10 at night until about 4 in the morning and nearly have the entire place to myself!

    SOMETIME CHAIRS IN CLEAN REST-ROOM, OPEN WIFI DOES NOT WORK FOR ME & OPTION TO REQUEST SONGS VIA APP. CHECK THE MAP REGARDING AVAILABLE LOCATIONS. THE RIVERDALE BRANCH IS FAIR, BUT THE BUCKHEAD IS SUITABLE ON ME. INSTEAD OF GOING ALL THE WAY HOME TO SHOWER I GO TO ANYTIME' & GO STRAIGHT TO JOB. AFTER WORK IT IS GOOD FOR ME TO GO STRAIGHT TO ANYTIME FITNESS(OTHERWISE I WANT PUT IN THE SETS).
